The Resiliency Preparatory School may move for the second time this year.

Resiliency students and faculty have been using the third floor of the former Cherry & Webb building at 139 S. Main St. since February.

The building became an emergency location for the school when in late January severe winds ripped a 30-by-40-foot hole in the roof of its previous location, the Westall School.

The building also sustained significant water damage. In all, the storm-related damages totaled an estimated $1.3 million.

The emergency repairs to the Westall building roof since have been made, according to Fall River schools Chief Operating Officer Tom Coogan.

After a $100,000 insurance money had funded those repairs.

The city and its insurance company are currently negotiating the cost and scope of the remaining repair work, which includes flooring and electrical work.

All of those additional repairs will be covered by insurance. The city will not be exposed to any additional costs related to the project, Coogan said.

Coogan said repairs are not expected to be finished until November or December, well beyond the start of school in September.

Superintendent Meg Mayo-Brown said the school department intends to move Resiliency students and staff back into a Fall River school building in the fall.

So on Tuesday night, the School Committee will hold a vote to transfer them to the now vacant former location of the Morton Middle School and previously the Kuss Middle School, 290 Rock St.

While the old Morton Middle School building will be sufficient for the school’s needs, students and staff would prefer to return to the Westall building. According to Mayo-Brown, they’ve told her, “that’s our home. We want to return to our home.”

The school department is also looking at whether to convert Morton Middle School into an early childhood development center.
